Let’s Make Better Rpg Currencies

https://youtu.be/VADntQSNMB4

I’m curious what currency systems my fellow #ttrpg GMs have dreamt up when #worldbuilding.

It’s always annoyed me how #dnd’s gp/sp/cp currency resembles the USD system so much in the way it is used, despite the fact that IRL a single gold coin would be worth more than my car. Does #WotC think my backpack is worth $8k? That makes no sense to me.

Also, totally makes sense they would call them gold and silver if they inherited the roman Librae, Solidi, Denarii currency system
